Quielty In Trouble

No time to melt away

Reality descending

Linen sheets of snow

Dissolve in a violet glow

Of dawn, come to steal the night

We revel in silence, our only sacred vice

In a time of crisis

Set for a battle of mind

We'll pull no punches

Senses deprived of the light

Are called to attention

Drowning in a longing for divine intervention

Oh, it's really nothing more

Than a longing to seem secretly satisfied

I'm utterly terrified

I'm quietly in trouble

Awaiting to heed my call

Visions sneak up and blindside me

With nowhere else to run

Cornered, I come undone

Chanting poems, spilling verse

As the demons disperse

Destined to find the charm

In a constant state of alarm

Set for a battle of will

A conflict of interests

Learn how to stomach the pill

Or sell yourself to the merciless tide

Swift and unforgiving

Oh, I want nothing more

Than a reason to seem reasonably satisfied

I'm utterly terrified

I'm quietly in trouble
